I don’t like him and I’m voting for him. There are a lot like me.I will vote for him in the general election like a lot of us who don’t like him well.
It is quite understandable when you factor in the 60+% of GOP primary voters who support someone else plus the independents and Democrats.
LOL That’s why NOBODY goes to his rallies, huh.
Looking at the indicia in the upper right corner, I see that the mailer was produced and mailed by SPI. That would be the company specializing in political direct mailers that produced this. It’s been used before, so it’s a program that’s marketed, that has had some success. When subjected to widespread scrutiny, it does seem invasive to attempt to embarrass non-voters into voting, however it is information in the public domain. I’ll go out on a limb and say that the uproar against the Cruz campaign for using this prepackaged direct mail campaign is motivated by an opponent, most likely Rubio. Should the Cruz campaign have known that this would be very controversial with Republicans and conservatives? I’d say yes. However, it’s not quite the issue that it’s been made out to be. Just imho as a person with experience in direct marketing, of course.
The circle will be complete.
Cruz’s campaign confirmed sending it.
boy that’s an ingenious way to get Cruz voters to back trump. I hope you enjoy clinton. I have to say that some people on this board that support trunp are the most simplistic naive misinformed misled easily fooled by a fellow New Yorker people I have ever met in my entire life. Take it as a compliment :)
Nothing you trot out here is going to reverse the self inflicted damage of the shaming letter and Teddys failure to lead in the face of it.
He’s toast.
So according to this poll we should elect Carson since he has the lowest “unfavorable” rating. Of course people don’t vote for the least offensive candidate - they vote for the candidate who they think will most likely accomplish what they expect.
This is a stupid poll. And that comes form a voter who will not vote for Trump in the Primary.
why do you bother? I haven’t been around the country much but being a New Yorker and seeing all of the trump supporters on this board makes me think there’s a naive lot out there that I could have made a fortune selling vacuums to. I might just pass on the generals if it’s the National Socialists and the Communists.
Everybody beats Hillary now.. Come Sept she will be in jail or ahead in the polls!!!
His unpopular rating will go even higher when people find out about the strip clubs he opens, the affairs he bragged about having with married women, his eminent domain problems,... And we you haven’t heard it all. Bill Clinton trump worshippers are no different than Obama worshippers. Only the name changed but same character.
I’m not debating that they sent it. I’m questioning the uproar, it’s clearly being motivated by an opponent, in my opinion Rubio. It’s a prepackaged direct mailer that has been used in the past with some success.
Let us parse this a little. The Donald is the one with most “unpopularity” among REPUBLICAN voters. But those in favor, are among the most enthusiastic of their support, which, in the end, may sway enough of the so-called “uncommitted” voters in this largely amorphous “center”, to overcome, by some decidedly much larger margin, whatever deficit he may have with the Republicans who “disapprove” of him right now.
The Donald is attracting votes from what at one time were called the “Reagan Democrats”, who feel they have no representation of their views by any of the candidates so far offered up by the Democrats.
An altogether unexpected and previously ignored majority may even now be shaping up.
Nixon got elected in 1968 against a badly wounded LBJ, who, though not running himself, had enough of his patina rub off on Hubert Humphrey, that Humphrey was too seriously tarnished to stand up to Nixon.
The Donald will be running against a badly damaged member of the Current Regime, whose career was blemished by the crony capitalism that was rampant in the years from 2007 through 2016.
Yea but Trumps the lowest....and that includes the Jebster.
Ted Cruz Campaign Sends Out Personal “Shaming Letters” To Iowa Voters

LOL.. Yea, if he becomes any more unpopular he will win in a landslide....
Still.... something ain’t right. Sure they have to confirm it, their return address is on it. But did they ORDER this from the marketing company? Likely not, it was probably just done in a small market to see what happened. I find it despicable, but I know Cruz well enough to know he’d never OK something like this.
Guess we’ll have to wait for the rest of this story on October Monday.. in the meantime, the DesMoines poll comes out in a few hours. Surprised we’re not making book on that!
Only thing I have been naive about is not seeing that Ted Cruz is a slimy creep.
